Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 13 Second Young Master

When Murong Lan saw the jealous gazes from other women, she was very proud, and she couldn't stop glancing at her fiancé-in-law.

Murong Wei glanced at Feng Yu lazily, and saw him smiling at Yan Yan, who was presenting his respects to the prince and the king of Luo. He will be known as the first son of Kyoto.

These ladies from all over the world saw many beautiful men appearing. Although they still maintained a dignified demeanor, they had already developed a fighting spirit in their hearts.At this moment, she even pulled out all the stops and resorted to all kinds of coups, and Murong Wei shouted wonderfully.

"Second Sister, it's really good to come today, it's much more exciting than the troupe's play."

Murong Yue laughed and said: "You, if those young ladies hear about it, they will definitely strangle you to death. Here, look, Fourth Sister is also on stage."

Sure enough, Murong Wan'er also came on stage, and performed a green-waisted dance. Her appearance is innocent and delicate, her body is soft and graceful, and her dancing posture is graceful, which actually won a lot of applause.

Seeing that Murong Wan'er had also come, Feng Yu searched the crowd, and saw Murong Wei's expression as if he was watching a show, and was stunned.

Murong Lan had been paying attention to him all the time, and when she realized where his gaze was, she immediately became annoyed, and when Murong Wan'er retreated to her side blushing, she whispered something in her ear.

Murong Wan'er frowned, as if she was a bit unwilling, but she looked into the eyes of her eldest sister, but she didn't dare to disobey.

"This is Miss Murong Fourth, she really is a lady from a famous family, the singing and dancing are really extraordinary." Wang Hao boasted with a smile.

Murong Wan'er lowered her eyes, and responded modestly: "The princess has won the award, how can the young girl's singing and dancing compare with the princess's. The princess doesn't know that besides the eldest sister, the third sister is the best at singing and dancing in my family. How dare the youngest daughter take the big one? "

The princess raised her eyebrows, "Oh, where is the third girl?"

The eldest lady glared at Wan'er coldly, then smiled and said to the princess: "You made the princess laugh, children are ignorant, how can you praise your sister like that, you can't make people laugh when you say it."

Murong Wan'er covered her eyebrows, thinking how could she want to say it, the elder sister didn't force her to do so.Looking at my sister, I saw her smiling: "Mother, the fourth sister is right, why don't you let the third sister come over?"

The eldest lady cast a glance at her daughter, feeling a little annoyed in her heart, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking, just making Murong Wei look bad in front of the famous and noble relatives in the capital, of course it would make her lose face, but could the Murong family have face?Those who didn't know thought that the Murong family had no way to teach their daughters, and even their sisters would be talked about by others, and it was really inappropriate for their daughter to do so.

Princess Qingli's eyes flickered, as if thinking of something, her expression was very subtle, and suddenly her eyes rolled: "Which one is Miss Murong San, please come out and meet me."

Murong Wei was originally sitting in the pavilion chatting, but when she heard Simei's words, she sneered in her heart, she was shot while lying down, there are always people who are idle and want to make trouble for her.They knew that Murong Wei used to stutter because of anxiety or nervousness, and was often laughed at by others, so she was cowardly and seldom went out. Although she also learned the six arts, she was only good at female celebrity and painting, let alone singing and dancing. .

Murong Yue looked at her worriedly, Murong Wei shook her head and gave her a comforting look.

Seeing that the eldest lady didn't want her to come forward, she still understood that she would lose face to the Murong family if she made a fool of herself later, but the princess had spoken, how could she dare to continue to take the university?
So he stood up, his footsteps moved slightly, his gait was light, and his posture was very elegant during his actions. When he arrived in front of the princess, Tingting bowed gracefully, "my little girl pays homage to the princess."

The concubine saw that her eyes were picturesque, her expression was calm, she didn't show any panic or joy because of what happened just now, and there was a just right smile on the corner of her mouth.

The concubine was a little surprised, she looked at her differently, and patted her hand with a smile: "What a good boy, Mrs. Murong teaches daughters well, look at the daughters in the family are all good."

The Da Furen had a modest face on her face: "The princess has won the award, but she just knows some etiquette and rules." Looking at Murong Wei, she couldn't help but be amazed that this concubine has changed so much, she is completely different from before.

Princess Qingli raised her eyebrows, seeing that many people seemed to remember the rumors during this period, their eyes became strange, they looked at Murong Wei and then at Feng Yu.

But these two people seem to be okay, and this third lady is really not like the silly girl in the rumors. The truth of this rumor has yet to be verified. Didn't someone say it was a rumor?
Feng Yu's expression was still the same as usual, but his heart was churning endlessly, and he looked at his fiancée a little coldly.He didn't want others to bring up that rumor at all, what was she trying to do by making this out on purpose, to embarrass him in public to make him look good, or did she just hate Murong Wei so much that she had to make a fool of herself?

"I haven't seen this little sister before. I heard that you are good at singing and dancing. I wonder if I can let my sister learn too?" Qing Li held Murong Wei's hand with a smile, as if very affectionate.

Murong Wei only narrowed her eyes and said embarrassedly: "That's because the fourth sister has won the award. The little girl's singing and dancing are far inferior to the fourth sister's. I'm afraid I will make a fool of myself. Although I intend to wish the princess a birthday, my sister has already performed just now, and the little girl wants to play the piano for the princess." A song."

Murong Lan snorted coldly in her heart, but suddenly she saw Shi Zifei smiling and said: "Since it is so much better, it would be boring to watch singing and dancing all the time."

Qing Li didn't say anything after hearing the words.

Luo Wang has been sitting and sipping tea, with a smile on his mouth, no matter who is performing, he will praise him, and he can't see his intentions.This time, his eyes turned around Murong Wei, and he felt that this woman was very beautiful and well-behaved, but that's all.

He has seen countless beauties since he was a child, and he has long been tired of seeing them.

Someone had already prepared a guqin in the field. Murong Wei tuned the qin, with a complicated expression on her face. She had never played the qin since that incident in her previous life. She never expected such a fate. The music he composed is also old.

With the sound of the piano, she sang with her own voice, and sang: "It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the place, and it seems like this is all ruined. What's the good day and the beautiful sky, who's house is the place to enjoy the pleasure? Flying in the morning and evening, the clouds and green pavilions. The rain Pieces of wind, smoke and waves painting boats. People in Jinping watched the time splash..."

In this section of Gardening Dreams, the lyrics are tactful, the music is low and sad, and her expression is also slightly sad. The slightly mournful voice seems to have added her own feelings, which shocked everyone's hearts inexplicably.

At the end of the song, she just got up and gave a blessing, "The little girl is showing her ugly face."

Luo Wang was a little dazed for a while, seeing the light and shadow falling on the girl, a pair of black eyes shone brightly on her pretty face, neither humble nor overbearing, those eyes were so clear and clear, as if they could see the bottom of people's hearts.

"Oh, why did my sister sing this song? It's not a good day on this happy day." Murong Lan couldn't help being annoyed when she saw that everyone's eyes were on Sanmei, and she was even more dissatisfied when she saw the excited eyes of some aristocrats , especially Feng Yu's obviously burning eyes, made her feel even more distressed.

The concubine sighed: "It's okay, I wanted to be happy. The lyrics are really well written. I didn't expect the girl to have such talent. Did you compose the arrangement and lyrics?"

"It's just a leisurely work, and it really offends the princess."

The concubine Shi Zi tsk-tskted in amazement: "If the concubine mother likes it, why don't you let the third lady sing another song, I still have something to say just now."

Shizi glanced at Murong Wei meaningfully, then turned his gaze outside.

At this moment, Xiao Jinglan was looking at her with burning eyes, and muttered to herself: "I have inquired about it, how can a person change so much? Murong Wei, you really confuse me."

The young girl in front of her is an exquisite person.

Murong Wei just smiled: "The concubine concubine loves you, all the daughters present here are better than me, I made a fool of myself by presenting a song, I'm afraid you will lose your knees if you come again."

The concubine glanced at her approvingly, thinking that the third young lady of the Murong family knows how to advance and retreat, but now she has seen a lot of ladies with bad eyesight, if she performs again, she will surely offend many people, and the limelight will be too great up.

The concubine asked people to continue, and when it was about the same time, she was thinking of ending, when she suddenly saw Xiao Jinglan walking out of the small pavilion at some time, everyone was stunned when they saw a peerless young man.

When Murong Wei looked up, she seemed to see a bright moon approaching suddenly, and the bright and clear brilliance sprinkled on him, with a peerless grace.

Tall and tall, with a dragon and a phoenix, the young man has a smile on his mouth, as graceful as an exile.

"Mother, it's so lively here."

As his voice came out, the people around him suddenly woke up.

All the girls were blushing at this moment, Zhili turned their heads but still watched quietly.

Murong Lan was also in a daze for a while, but soon calmed down. After all, her lover was Feng Yu, and it was not polite to stare at a strange man, but at this moment her black eyes flickered, and she looked at Wang Hao and the others. , suddenly seemed to be clear, no wonder today...

Murong Wan'er stared at it intently, her cheeks blushed, she twisted her veil, and looked in a daze, there is such a beautiful person in this world, even more beautiful than Feng Yu.

At this moment, even the famous nobles in the capital were a little surprised and started whispering.

"Who is this? It doesn't seem to be Prince Jing's young master, could it be the legendary second son?"

"It must be him. He is so beautiful. All the beauties present will be compared to him."

Luo Wang was surprised and laughed: "Isn't this Jing Lan? You have returned to Beijing? I haven't seen you for some years."

Xiao Jinglan nodded: "Yes, Your Highness, I just returned to Beijing."

The son patted him on the shoulder and said: "Second brother just came back, specially to celebrate mother's birthday. Just now, second brother, you came late, but you didn't appreciate the talents of all the ladies."

Xiao Jinglan looked very regretful: "Isn't that a big loss?"

Seeing a group of people staring straight at him, the eyes made him upset, but nothing showed on his face.

At this time Xiao Jingyu came from the front yard, and smiled and invited everyone back to prepare for the banquet. Seeing that it was not a good time, these famous gentlemen hugged each other and went back to the banquet, talking about today's events from time to time.

The second son of the Xiao family is back, and today he suddenly arranged to go out, and everyone has already seen what it means.

Murong Lan stepped forward to pay her respects, the eldest lady suddenly saw her fourth daughter's blushing face and tugged at her sleeves, Murong Wan'er frowned: "Why, I..." suddenly looked at the eldest lady coldly eyes, trembling with fear, "Mother."

The eldest lady's voice rang in her ear coldly: "Look at what you look like, why don't you go to see the ceremony?"

Murong Wan'er knew that she had just been rude, her face turned pale, she didn't dare to show anything, and followed her second and third sisters to salute.

Xiao Jinglan only spoke with a smile, but most of his eyes fell on Murong Wei.

Murong Wan'er was peeping at him, while Murong Yue didn't speak, and Murong Wei only followed behind the elder sister.

At this moment, everyone started to go to the banquet, and the sisters dispersed together to have a drink in the garden.

Murong Wan'er looked at the young man supporting the princess with some reluctance, and said in detail: "I heard that this young master has been raised outside."

Murong Wei glanced at her, thinking that when she saw Xiao Jinglan just now, she was really amazed by his beauty for a while, then suddenly remembered what happened today, and she had some guesses, maybe today was for the blind date of the Second Young Master ?
No wonder this is the case today.

Murong Lan knew about this case, looked at the younger sisters, and had her own plan in mind.

Entering Baoxia, there is already a table in the middle, a row of huanghuali round tables, and rosewood flower-wrapped armchairs.There is an exquisite five-compartment snack box on the table, with some snacks.After arguing for half a day, they were already hungry, and they were no longer reserved.The banquet in the palace is naturally extraordinary, and both the host and the guest are happy.

After eating, Murong Lan was invited by Princess Qingli, Mrs. Murong thoughtfully and other ladies went to the nearby Qingmingxuan to sit down and discuss something.

Murong Wan'er caught up with a few younger sisters who were well-mannered and talked about something, Murong Yue didn't know who was caught, Murong Wei felt bored, so she walked slowly along the cobblestone path in the garden Go and enjoy the beauty of the garden.

In the front, bypassing the resting Baoxia, there is a small stream flowing by, and a small bridge has been built on it, hidden among the flowers and trees.

Walking through the small bridge, there is a rockery piled up with Taihu Lake stones in front of it, with holes in it, humming when the wind blows, some bamboos and flowers are planted on both sides, and there are several pavilions.

The bamboo looks like a rare husband and wife bamboo. The two grow together and are lingering, which is very interesting.

Murong Wei felt a little tired, walked in the bamboo forest, suddenly heard a sound, and seemed to see two people standing in the distance.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" The voice came from a young girl.

Murong Wei had a different intuition, and when she looked carefully, she saw King Luo.Next to her was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, her bright eyes were like water, and her brows were slightly frowned, which made me feel pity.This young girl was slender, delicate and weak, and she looked surprised at the moment, with two red clouds flying on her face, and just right shyness.

This is……

Murong Wei saw that Luo Wang's expression was half a smile, his clothes seemed to be stained with wine, his eyes were obviously a little impatient and mocking, but there was still a smile on his mouth, "This king is just lost. go back."

His clothes were accidentally wet just now, the maid who brought him to change clothes said that there are clothes in the bamboo forest attic here, but he didn't expect to come here, the maid asked him to take a nap in this pavilion, but she never left back.

Seeing this girl now, he didn't know this kind of drama.

The girl didn't notice his expression, she lowered her eyes and said: "So that's the case, why don't Xin Rou send His Highness back, His Highness's clothes seem to be dirty, the attic over there is used by the prince, but there are clothes."

Murong Wei was amused in her heart, but she also felt that this woman was really bold to lure King Luo here. If someone found out, she might ruin her boudoir's reputation.It's just that it's not good to stay here and eavesdrop, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

Luo Wang was feeling impatient, suddenly heard a cracking sound, and then seemed to see a shadow flashing by, and immediately became alert: "Who?"

Murong Wei was startled and ran out of the bamboo forest in a hurry.

The girl was also taken aback, her face changed slightly, and she saw King Luo chasing after her, and she was afraid of being seen, so she hurried towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

On the other side, Murong Wei saw King Luo chasing after her, and hurriedly got into a rockery without caring about anything else.

However, after King Luo chased him to this place, he saw no one and looked around, but after a while he didn't look for it again, he crossed the small bridge and seemed to be going back to the front yard.

Murong Wei heaved a sigh of relief, she had seen no one for a long time, she poked her head around, and just as she came out of the rockery, a figure suddenly appeared and suddenly grabbed her left hand.

She was taken aback, and suddenly met a pair of dark and menacing black eyes, a coercive and domineering aura came suddenly, as if she wanted to be addicted to people.

The moment he saw her, Luo Wang was also startled, is it her?

Murong Wei was flustered just now, but now she calmed down, she didn't expect this prince to be so cunning, but she was careless, she didn't expect him to go back and catch her.

No wonder people who have been on the battlefield even learned the art of war.

When she rolled her eyes, her face suddenly turned red with anger, and her eyes were full of annoyance: "Let go of me, Your Highness, even if you are a prince, you can't spoil people's reputation at will! Although my daughter is young, she also knows the difference between men and women. How can His Royal Highness be so rude when people sit at different ages?"

Seeing the anger on her face, Luo Wang subconsciously let go of her hand, suddenly his black eyes narrowed slightly, and he came back to his senses, he was the one who came to arrest people, why was he so righteously questioned by her that he forgot himself Is it Xingshi who asked the crime?He was actually bluffed by a little woman.

"The king is rude. Why is the lady hiding in the rockery alone?" He asked with a little inquiring eyes: "I don't know if I saw someone come out just now? The king lost something and was looking for someone. Suddenly he saw the lady and thought It's the thief."

He didn't want others to spread what happened just now, lest some people talk nonsense and say that he had an affair with others.

Murong Wei's complexion is still not good: "The little girl is just enjoying the cool air here, but I saw His Highness come out just now, but I didn't see anyone else."

King Luo's eyes moved slightly: "That's right, the scenery here is indeed very beautiful, but there are no people, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time after all. This king also strayed into it by mistake and was about to go back."

Murong Wei seemed to have regained her composure, she only took a few steps back politely, and said, "Then please go first, Your Highness, if the young lady offends you, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It's okay, I'm being rude when I say it. Miss, I'd better go back earlier." King Luo raised the corners of his mouth, and with a deep smile in his black eyes, he turned and left.

This third lady is a smart person, even if she sees something, she probably won't say anything.

When I saw her performing arts before, I thought she was a well-educated lady, at most she was more talented.Unexpectedly, he was a bit quick-witted when he was in a hurry, and he was really surprised that he could not panic and even lead him into the army under such a situation.

Looking back, she saw a relaxed smile on the corner of her mouth, and a burst of fragrance lingered around the tip of her nose.

King Luo's eyes were dark, but it didn't take long for him to disappear among the flowers and trees.

Some people are already getting ready to leave.

Murong Wan'er was talking to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady, but Murong Wei had seen that lady come to Murong's house a few times, she was Feng Yu's concubine Feng Jinyan, with a beautiful appearance, lively eyebrows and eyes, and quite good at talking , has always been in harmony with the fourth sister.

"It's such a pity. There is a scar on such a healthy face." Feng Jinyan sighed: "I heard that the second son was weak and sick when he was young, and he couldn't always take care of him. Later, he was a close friend of Prince Jing. I took him away and kept him resting in Wudang Mountain, no wonder I haven’t seen him in these years.”

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, this Miss Feng knew so many things in a short period of time, it's really unusual.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked past her, she looked closely, and was surprised in her heart, isn't this the girl who secretly saw King Luo in the forest?

"Sister Feng, do you know that young lady?"

Murong Wan'er looked back, feeling somewhat dispirited: "Oh, I heard that she is a distant relative of Concubine Jing's family, named Liu Xinrou. Both her parents died, and Prince Jing adopted her in the mansion because of her pity."

Murong Wei was a little surprised, isn't Concubine Jing a princess? How come her distant relatives are raised in Prince Jing's mansion?

Feng Jinyan glanced at her, thinking in her heart, this third lady was completely different before and now, and she heard that she was looking for death and life for her brother, why did she seem to be a different person all of a sudden?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw his eldest sister Murong Lan returning to the garden, and the eldest lady also came over, telling them that it was time to prepare to go back.

Here Princess Qingli sent her away, and saw the second elder brother smiling and pressing his mother's shoulders outside the screen, and the mother asked him: "Did you take a fancy to any lady just now?"

Xiao Jinglan frowned slightly, and thought for a long time: "The third lady of the Murong family is pretty good."

The concubine was stunned for a moment: "Although it's not bad, she is a concubine after all."

After all, he is the son of the royal family, how can he give in at will?If she agrees, the prince will not be willing either.

Xiao Jinglan was unwilling, "Then I won't choose today. The others are not interesting, so I just think she's not bad."

The princess had a headache and scolded: "You are talking nonsense, kid. Not all the beauties in the capital are here today. Let's hold a tea party another day and invite some people."

Xiao Jinglan remained silent.

The princess left quietly, and went outside with a thoughtful expression.

The big maid, Tourmaline, is needed by the princess, she smiled and said something in the princess's ear, the princess nodded, then turned and went to the garden.

At this moment, Murong Lan was about to leave when she saw the princess coming out, "Why is the princess here again? Could it be that he wants to ask for poetry again?"

Qing Li took her arm with a smile: "Aren't I here to see you off? There will be a tea party at my house some other day, and I will invite you and a few younger sisters to come with me." After a pause, she looked at Murong Wei: "Especially the third sister, you must come next time, I want to see you compose a new song."

Murong Wei's eyes moved slightly, and she just nodded lightly: "The princess loves you, the little girl is just a trick, how dare she show her shame again?"

After all, seeing the subtle expressions of the eldest lady and the eldest sister, especially the princess's sudden and warm invitation, it is hard not to make people guess.

"Third sister don't need to be modest, mother and concubine and I like your songs very much, and your poems must be very good when we meet you, next time I can't let you go as easily as today." The princess said with a smile Yan, it looks really friendly.

"Okay, I will definitely bring my younger sisters over for tea some other day." Murong Lan said goodbye to the princess with a smile, and went out of the garden with her sisters, and each got into the car.

Murong Yue also had a good conversation with a young lady just now, now she looked at her younger sister and smiled: "I really didn't expect third younger sister to have such a talent."

Murong Wei narrowed her eyes and sighed, "I knew I wouldn't be here today."

She knew what Second Sister said was that her performance today was too conspicuous, which inevitably made people suspicious, but in today's situation, she would be ashamed if she performed or not, so she had to choose a situation that was beneficial to both herself and the Murong family.

Some things are inevitable.

Murong Yue just patted her hand, "Sister should have made plans earlier."

Murong Wei covered her eyebrows, knowing what she meant.

For concubine girls like them, begging is nothing more than fighting for a good marriage.Murong Yue is not young anymore, she is not engaged yet, so she doesn't know what will happen.

As for her, although her mother is different from other concubines in the mansion, the other aunts are all maids, only her mother is not only a woman from a good family, but also a daughter of an official family, that is a noble concubine, and her status in the mansion is naturally high.But if her mother can give birth to a son, it would be best if she can be promoted to an equal wife.

Then she is considered the first daughter-in-law.

Most of the time, her status is like this. Even if she doesn't care, she still has to think about her mother's future.

When I got back to the mansion, the elder sister suddenly came forward with a smile and asked: "I heard that the third younger sister also loves books. I still have a few lonely books from the previous dynasty, and I will send them to you later."
